What it is
The Ideal 172256 is a stiffener — a rigid support piece that reinforces a component, panel or fixing point inside the appliance. It is produced by Ideal for the Commercial Concord range of gas-fired appliances. Its job is to hold its shape under load so that the surrounding assembly stays rigid and the fixings stay tight.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Cracking, splitting or distortion visible on the stiffener itself
- Fixings that will not hold torque, or that work loose repeatedly
- Noticeable flex or movement in the panel or assembly the stiffener supports
- Rattling or vibration from a component that should sit rigid
- Corrosion or deformation around the mounting points
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Compare the old part with previous number 8358-8281 to be sure of the match
- Check whether any seals or gaskets disturbed during the repair also need replacing
- This is not a gas-carrying part, but any work inside the appliance should be carried out by a competent person
